| Make somethin' of yourself
|
| Make somethin' of yourself
|
| Make somethin' of yourself
|
| Looking out the window thinkin' bout the shit I’ve been through
|
| Not that shit I told you but the shit I never get to
|
| Mr Smile for the camera
|
| Always make it look so simple
|
| Sometimes just keeping it together seems so fucking monumental
|
| What if, what if
|
| What if I crash and I burn?
|
| Maybe I got so caught up in teaching I forgot how to learn
|
| What if I let down all my friends
|
| And all this music shit just ends
|
| And everything’s about to fall apart just like my father says to me
|
| But ma mama say I’ll make it
|
| She say boy you gon be the greatest
|
| So pardon me while I become a monster
|
| And give out everything I have to offer
|
| But right now it feels stupid that I gotta make it out alive
|
| Time to pay the price it costs of to
|
| Make somethin' of yourself
|
| Make somethin' of yourself
|
| Make somethin' of yourself
|
| Not proud of all the things I did
|
| But I’m proud I can admit that
|
| Yes I was a truly messed up kid
|
| But I blessed up quick don’t forget that
|
| It’s a shame my parents had to split
|
| But I had nothing to do with that
|
| Took a while to understand cause I thought love was a gift you don’t give back
|
| I guess, it all appeared a facade
|
| And that’s right around the time I stopped believing in God
|
| Started believing in myself
|
| Look I don’t need no one else
|
| And whether it was right or wrong
|
| At the time I swear that shit really helped (it did)
|
| But all I know is how to keep it moving
|
| They try and stop me and I keep pursuing
|
| I’m moving up like Hallelujah
|
| So pardon me while I become a monster
|
| And overcome everything I encounter
|
| But right now it feels stupid that I gotta make it out alive
|
| Time to pay the price it costs of to
|
| Make somethin' of yourself
|
| Make somethin' of yourself
|
| Make somethin' of yourself
|
| Please just let me make it
|
| Please just grant this wish for me for granted I won’t take it
|
| I need to make somethin' of myself
|
| I know I said I didn’t believe earlier
|
| But God if you’re real I need some help
|
| I need to make somethin'
|
| More than just money
|
| I thought that was gon make me happy
|
| It just made me so ugly
|
| I really need to make somethin'
|
| Some kind of difference
|
| I know I’ve got it inside me I just hope you’ll be my witness
|
| I’m gonna make somethin' |
